Dear Shirley, Earth Angel:

Congrats for uprooting the inner bully today. It will sneak into your life again, but keep at it. Over time it will weaken. I intensely dislike bullies, and here, I intensely dislike your inner bully. How dare it talk to you like that?! Of course, I have my own inner bully and I dislike it as much.

So your Relationship Resume (I like the concept of having one) with its objectives is expanding. I think it is excellent to have a relationship objectives, why not approach a relationship scientifically, determining objectives, choosing a candidate, observing, experimenting (different situations, locations, times), evaluating, etc. More likely to work out applying science to relationships!

Serious and independent, not flirtatious, a friend first and foremost. Someone who appreciates you for everything that you are. Absolutely!

Had a long walk today, just came back. Some rain, a bit chilly.
